2014: my year in review

12/31/2014

 
It's always great fun to look back at your year as a whole. Facebook keeps telling me I should post slide shows, videos, and newspaper headlines that it magically creates, based on which posts had the most "likes" and comments and activity. But Facebook keeps getting it so very very wrong.

I figured I could do better.

So, this is truly MY year in review. It's a tad more personal-life related than I usually do on this blog, but Facebook wouldn't let me upload it directly, so here we are. Two things stoodd out for me as I went through the big moments and the photos of all the little ones in between: there was an awful lot of fitness and active-related activity, and there were a LOT of smiling friends and family involved.
I've been M.I.A. on the blog for far too long, I know. And that may be tomorrow's post. It's been partly due to time (see: photos of all the recent holiday parties and festivities), and partly due to a loss of motivation when it comes to food and drink (see, also: photos of all the parties and festivities over the whole year!). But, no matter where I am at the close of 2014, when I look back it really was a fantastic and active year.
  • Trip to New York City.
  • Megathon.
  • Trying out firearms for the first (and last?) time.
  • Parties, patios, and many good times playing games with friends.
  • Outdoor Fitness Challenge.
  • Holidays with friends and family: Easter, Canada Day, Thanksgiving, Hallowe'en and Christmas.
  • The closure and move of my work place, and the opening of our brand new library.
  • Ultimate Frisbee, Kayaking, Climbing, Archery.
  • A visit from Uncle Ross to Ontario, and me going to B.C. to visit my sister, meant that I saw my entire family this year and that doesn't always happen.
  • Summiting a mountain, white water rafting, and outdoor climbing, on that B.C. trip.
  • Completing the Bad Ass Dash with friends I've known since high school.

Yeah. Whatever the ups and downs of the year have been, at this point in time, as I look back, the lyrics to "Que Sera" by Justice Crew seem to have the most relevance:

At the end of the day
Some you win, some you don't
So I'm glad that I'm here
With some friends that I know
Always there with a smile
Saying you're not alone
Singing la la la la
Que Sera

    Whose blog, now?

    From the gut, about the gut, trying to listen to what my gut tells me.

    I'm just a girl, fighting the same weight battle as much of the population. Lost 100 lbs, working on the rest, trying to find balance between health, fitness, and vanity. I'm also a librarian who wants to share credible information and reliable resources, in addition to my own musings and reflections, what I call "my writing from the gut."
